Jesus those Josef Siebel monstrosities linked above might be the most hideous footwear I’ve ever seen. And I’m including ballet flats in that.

And this style with more of a loafer style front are passable in my work place

Whilst it's all subjective those trainers are horrible and look terrible with that skirt.

lol at 50 plus ageism

?? You're the poster who brought ageism into it.

MaryFuckingFerguson · 02/06/2024 13:34

I love those trainers with that skirt. But Swedish Hasbeens style cloggy sandals would look nice if trainers are not allowed.

And OP remarked on age of 87.

Each to their own but to paraphrase

Cloggy style sandals would be OK. Cowboy boots are too obvious.

Clog style shoes equals no style at all. With a bias skirt? Just no, never. Nor cowboy boots. I’m never a fan of making people laugh!

@Paulhasalongmoustache Do yourself a favour and look at stylish shoes - like the ones I posted! I’ve no idea where ideas come from on these threads. It’s like fancy dress.

Paulhasalongmoustache · 03/06/2024 06:04

Yeah, I only like the brown ones. The problem is kitten he still seems to be Theresa May in my head whether on fashion or not

Why not accept kitten heels are Prada!! M&S have very similar ones. It’s somewhat odd to hark back to Teresa May when lots of the catwalk summer 24 shows featured them? Who on earth cares what Teresa May chose? She might even have wanted comfortable footwear!

TizerorFizz · 03/06/2024 17:53

Also I’m sure Teresa May wore leather trousers, suits and underwear. Are they off your shopping list too?

CheerfulBunny · 03/06/2024 18:09

What about those flat leather slides that have a vaguely 'Greek key' interlocking design? They're everywhere again this year. I'd suggest fisherman's sandals (because I love mine) but I think they'd be too clompy with a delicate satin skirt, and not in a good way.
Alternatively - Birkenstock type sandals if the slides are too flat?

Soboredofdiettalk · 03/06/2024 18:11

Pointy flats maybe? I wear some vivaia ones at work and think they go with skirts quite well. Make my legs look longer etc

TizerorFizz · 03/06/2024 21:47

@CheerfulBunny You mean all
the Hermes rip off slides? Yes, everywhere but very casual for a more formal event - if this is one? More beach kaftan look with a Loewe basket!!
